And when did you / the person you know realize he was scammed?

What tips do you have for people who haven’t lived this, so they don’t fall for it?

How long till they start asking for money?

What sites do scammers use? Can it be a facebook group or is it only limited to dating sites?

      No.

      Her brother has kids. My girlfriend doesn’t. Those kids are her extended family. Not her primary family, or “family,” colloquially.
